Comparing Encryption in Transit Options

Weigh up three popular ways to protect your data in transit—host level encryption (TLS/SSH), MACsec, and IPsec—to fortify your network security. Encryption in transit refers to protecting data while it moves from one place to another, in contrast to “encryption at rest” which is used to protect data where it is stored. In this blog we’ll look at a few common options for encryption in transit, and the pros and cons of each from a network perspective.

Network Performance Dashboard

In this dashboard tutorial video, we will walk you through building a Network Performance dashboard. This dashboard provides users with the visibility they need into the status of their network performance from their offices down to an individual users device. Obtaining this single pane of glass visibility is made easy with the combination of both CloudReady and Service Watch metrics into dashboards. When utilizing these dashboards, users can quickly identify which networks are performing poorly, allowing them to quickly resolve issues and ensure end users have an optimal experience.
